I agree! Didn’t mean to suggest otherwise. I just think there needs to be more analysis done than just a burst contest when determining buffs/nerfs.

Oh for sure, dh has really solid burst and actually some nutty “sustained burst” during cds.
I do actually think that dh sustained damage IS undertuned and could use a buff, while their burst is pretty okay. You’re absolutely correct about the dh population, though, and it WAS one of the lowest played specs up through shadowlands and population skyrocketed in dragonflight, largely because of its s1 shuffle performance imo.
Agreed, but it’s definitely a data point. Fdk can have garbage sustained and survivability, but as long as it has 250-0 burst and chains to lvie between goes, you can’t really buff the rest of the kit.
I do think their sustained IS lacking, though. I can let a dh sit on me without kiting or ccing them and as long as I disrupt their eye beam in any way I’m not worried about dying. I think that ANY melee with permanent uptime should be extremely threatening, not negligible outside of very telegraphed cds.
That’s the last thing I want! I don’t wanna be OP pls lol… everyone hates DH enough already, I don’t wanna hear the crying 
This. DH is fine. Nasraijin has this weird obsession with nerfing everything, then a top performer will emerge and we will start the cycle of nerfs again. It’s so exhausting and annoying
DH burst is fine, DH sustain is non-existent.
So outside of eyebeam windows they tickle you.
It’s the same with a lot of undertuned classes. Most people have big burst, but the underperformance comes from either survivability or their sustain. Classes with good burst, good survivability, and good sustain are all the S+ tier classes.
Using who can dump CD’s into a stationary target that’s not defending itself as a be all, end all discussion stopper on class power is rather silly.

Yeah, the problem is good opponents will rarely let you get your eyebeam off on them since it’s often telegraphed and our damage outside of our burst windows is very meh.
Add that with our defensives being pretty weak I can see how people would rather play one of the other OP classes.
I’m having a blast though, I love DH lol.
Game is peak when dh is unplayable

Huh?
What makes you say that??
I feel like I’ve been one of the few people that’s been saying that balance isn’t as bad as people think and that it’s gotten better and better.
I also literally asked for buffs to underperforming classes in this thread??

Even at 1800MMR my eye beam gets interrupted with a stun or fear Almost every game. Its easy to see it coming
I was actually going at it with him in another thread because he mentioned DK buffs

And I stand by that! I think DK was over-nerfed! I think they need a buff, not a nerf!
